HI. My wife's 2017 NX200t is at just over 40,000. She wants to replace the Struts and Shocks. What is the best brand to go with; I am ignorant to Japanese car parts. I was looking into KYBs.
She is looking for ride more than performance. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

I can't imagine replacing struts/shocks after only 40k/5 years. You might want to (alternatively?) consider looking at the tires. I once had RunFlats and I'll never get them again. Not for me. They have some benefits, but for me the softer ride was more important so I ditched them. Some tires might give a harder ride than others. ALSO, the tire pressure that you drive with could affect the softness/bumpiness of the ride. You might want to look into that as well. Of course, it's also important to properly inflate and regularly rotate the tires as well.

I made a mistake once replacing OEM shocks with aftermarket brand (forgot which one) on RX350. Indi mechanic pushed these on me and I caved in. The car never rode again as well as it did on OEM-s. So, tread carefully with aftermarket shocks. BTW, car had about 140K on odometer.
